C.?Watauga County was included in the pro visions of Senator Julian Allsbrook's bill as it passed the Senate Thursday to prohibit the chairman of a political party in a county from becoming a candidate for office, thus reaping the benefits of having charge of the election machinery. Senator -Vllsbrook had a hard fight, against many of the old-line Democrats, and was able to get his bill through only after about forty counties liad been exempted from its provisions in the Senate. Senator Allsbrook. admittedly, faced that condition in his home county of Halifax when he ran for his first and only political office, that of Senator. He won in spite of the fact that all election machinery was in the hands of his opponent, then county chairman, but he wants to prevent such a condition for other candidates. It is not fair, he maintained, for a county chairman, who has named all of the officials of the county, to , have that advantage over another , candidate. The county chairman may become a candidate provided he resigns before March 1st, and therefore. would have nothing to do with.; nanfing the officials, the bill provides. mother and baby are doing fine.
